The Temporary Archaeological Institute is a fictional institution, working on the edge of philosophy, fringe archaeology and fiction. It is interested in how truth is manufactured, through the discipline of archaeology. The most valued of the institute’s collection, is that of V.H., an archaeologist from Alexandreia, mostly known about his research on Gethsemanism, who was found guilty of forgery after his disappearance.
